By the way Russell Brand should be attending again this year as he has been to previous years events. I think that he should tell his millions of followers on Twitter to attend this event then it really will be very big indeed! Micro said it is a show of intregity if you put your face to a cause you really believe in. Well Russell Brand has done just that so many thanks to him for supporting this worthy cause.

Right a quick run down of why this protest is taking place!
1) to protest against massive austerity cuts to vital public services while allowing corporate tax dodgers to get away without paying many billions in taxes.
2)Against Trident nuclear replacement which will cost over 41 billion, money which is being totally wasted on weapons that can never be used when public services are being starved of cash. Nuclear weapons are the most evil weapons ever invented as well!
3) The protest against the Tories welfare reforms which mean that many people get social security sanctions meaning they have all their benefits stopped for up to six months making them reliant on food banks or making them even destitute.
4) To protest against state brutality, we have informed pressure group Black Lives Matter about this protest and hope to welcome them to this event.
Now here is the Facebook event, go and share it and invite as many of your friends as possible.

There are good camp sites in Epping Forest too! See this: http://www.campsitechatter.com/specialisms/camping-in-the-forest/epping-forest#.WAS2-aOZMdU Those places are ideal for people who live many miles from the forest and want to spend a long weekend riding through there without having to first cycle 15 to 20 miles to get there.

By the way wearing a cycle crash helmet is a great idea as it will protect you from truncheon blows if the police decide to baton charge people. By the way over 30 years ago the anarchist punks tried to wake up the masses and explain to them how the badly government was behaving like in this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9C7o3WGMoE
it is a shame that most people did not listen to them back then or listen to organisations such as CND which tried to explain how billions of our tax money was being wasted on evil nuclear weapons. -
That is one of the biggest problems facing cyclists and one of my biggest worries when I leave a bike parked somewhere, will it get vandalised? There is also so little secure bike parking in London. The train stations offer the most secure parking places and also near the universities as they have onsite security patrolling 24 hours. In central London the LSE and UCL campuses are the safest places to park a bike for a few hours. Many police stations also have bike racks outside too.

By the way the people who are slagging off this event should go here to the event Facebook page and put forward their criticisms and suggestions about how to protest properly: https://www.facebook.com/events/485894658146587/ People forget that Anonymous is an open and democratic group which is open to everyone! By the way so far this event has got 19,000 people who have said they will attend so far, which is very encouraging.

If everyone in Britain knew just how much the Tories were fucking every one up then there would be well over a million people out protesting on November the 5th! Watch this:

Is everyone on this cycling forum a Tory? Even if you do not agree with Anonymous and the Million Mask March then still come along to listen to what they have got to say and you might learn something! So be there on Saturday the 5th of November in Trafalgar Square at 6pm! -
There is a mountain biking club based in Epping forest area! See this: http://www.eppingforestmtb.co.uk Epping Forest is ideal for mountain biking as it has got miles and miles of rough paths. It is a shame that mountain biking is banned on Hampstead Heath which is much closer to central London and cyclists are restricted to a couple of paths.
I am 50 years old and I live in south London.
